No, they are during primavera. And I have never been in the same city on the same night as either, as far as I know. I almost managed to catch boris in DC in 2011 when they toured with Asobi Seksu but shit happened.

Re: Top 5 Bands You Haven't Seen Live

The first couple are kinda easy, but it's never worked out (not to mention I live in a cultural vacuum), should have driven 4 hrs. to see the Melvins on their Guiness Book of World Records tour. Oh well.
1. Dinosaur Jr.
2. The Melvins
3. DEVO
4. Black Flag
5. Minor Threat

I am very excited to see HTDA next week. I guess i would condense this list to:

David Bowie
Tom Waits
The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble
Mouse on the Keys
The Replacements

I have to come to the conclusion that I will never see The Talking Heads,The Velvet Underground,Cats Eyes.....and I didnt know at the time Za! was just two people when they sound like a huge group.Also Kurt Vile has been the biggest disappointed i have had in recent years.I still want to see Weird Al as well.

Re: Top 5 Bands You Haven't Seen Live

So many incredible and implausible shows have happened since I first made my list. Seeing Bjork the other night was something that I had longed for, yet was somewhat skeptical would happen, what with her voice problems and all.
